‘Cornwall Playing for Success helps children achieve their best by using sport to bridge the gap between education and unrealised potential.
Pete Goss, Founding Trustee |
The story so far...
The charity which was registered in October 2006, has already raised over £75,000 through the generous support of HSBC and sponsorship of Pete Goss' Trimaran in the Shetland and Round Britain and Ireland race in 2006, Fastnet race in 2007 and Spirit of Mystery voyage in 2008.
This money has been used to equip the new Porthpean Playing for Success (PfS) Centre, the third of four centres in Cornwall, with a state-of-the-art IT suite and interactive learning resources, to roll out a PfS programme to 180 pupils a year in Camborne, Pool and Redruth and to offer a Spirit of Mystery education programme at the National Maritime Museum, Falmouth to 1,500 pupils.
CHARITY GOALS
There are 4 PfS centres in Cornwall plus 1 associate centre at Penryn College and 1 satellite centre at the CPR Learning Space, however access is currently a postcode lottery for our schools and young people. In partnership with Cornwall County Council’s Directorate of Services for Children, Young People and Families, the charity was set up to extend the current reach of our centres and aims to:
- rollout a Playing for Success programme to all children in Cornwall who can benefit from it
- set up satellite centres and mobile units in order to extend the reach of Playing for Success to Cornwall's most isolated areas
